Chapter 481 Time Is Enough To Prove Everything

Chapter 493 Time Is Enough To Prove Everything

After the cavalry of the Qin army surrounded Shouchun, they stopped making any movements, and just stood quietly outside the gates of each city, as if waiting for orders.

After more than an hour, a long team appeared less than five miles east of Shouchun.On the Zhangxu flag fluttering in mid-air, a huge "Xiang" character is clearly visible shining in the sun.

The cavalry of the Qin army outside the east city wall saw the big banner with the word Xiang, and there was a commotion immediately.

The big flag with the word "Xiang" clearly showed the identity of the army that appeared outside the east wall of Shouchun.

Sure enough, the general Xiang Yu led the army and came back to help.

The Chu army on the east wall cheered loudly.The turmoil of the cavalry of the Qin army under the city clearly confirmed that the Qin army did not find out that Xiang Yu's army had crossed the river to help.

The result was that the soldiers of the Chu army on the east wall of Ranshouchun shattered their glasses.

Seeing the mighty Xiang Yu army running from behind with the huge "Xiang" banner, the cavalry of the Qin army who had just been murderous like ghosts and gods did not even engage in the battle, but directly urged the horses under their crotches to turn around. The horse head fled away.

That's right, Qin Jun was running away.

Because the soldiers of the Chu army on the city wall could clearly see that the cavalry of the Qin army with several cavalry behind them seemed to be not in a hurry, and fell off the horse directly. pose to escape.

After a short period of silence, the Chu army on the city wall suddenly burst into laughter.

The arrival of Xiang Yu's army completely relaxed the hearts of all the Chu soldiers guarding the city, and the fear of the Qin army disappeared amidst the laughter.

While the Xiangzi banner was waving, more than [-] people rushed out from the brigade of infantry, and chased after the fleeing cavalry of the Qin Army.The remaining Chu army marched towards the city of Shouchun.

A few figures stood tall under the banner of Xiangzi flying high.

It wasn't until he arrived at the city of Shouchun that Fan Zeng knew that Shouchun had been brought to the city by Qin soldiers as early as yesterday.

In fact, Shouchun had already sent messengers to inform that Shouchun was approached by soldiers of the Qin army, but before seeing Xiang Yu, these messengers were either captured alive or killed on the spot by a large number of Qin army scouts cruising on the north bank of the Huaihe River. The messenger was able to see Xiang Yu.

An army of 20 went north and returned miserably. Even if Xiang Yu survived, he would lose his prestige.

And it was Fan Zenglong and others who hit him harder. They were directly captured alive.

Long Qi said that Xiang Yu was the number one general under his command, and he was the most powerful general in the three armies. Although he lost an arm in the battle of Xingyang, he was still his capable general.

His own is the number one think tank beside Xiang Yu, and it is precisely because of his planning that Xiang Yu was able to quickly lead the Xiang clan after his uncle Xiang Liang was captured alive, and continued to grow bigger and stronger, thus gaining the status he has today.

Now that all his left and right arms have been cut off by the Qin State, even if he returns to Shouchun, he will be seriously injured if he returns to Kuaiji, and it will be difficult for him to regain his original glory.

The laughter on the wall of Shouchun City was so ear-piercing to Fan Zeng at this moment.He really wanted to ask the soldiers of the Chu Army in Shouchun City if their heads were caught by the door.

Will such well-equipped cavalry, who have never appeared on the battlefield before, flee without a fight?Will he fall off his horse because he saw that the enemy couldn't even ride a horse?

Zhang Han, this existence that Xiang Yu didn't pay attention to at all, can now completely drive their Chu country to the bottom of the valley.

Why is there no such talent in Chu State?

Glancing at Fan Zeng with a bitter face, Wang Ben waved his hand to stop the marching army and said, "Order Yang Duan and the general to lead [-] soldiers to call open the gate of Shouchun. Climb the city wall corridor. The rest of the schools are ready to enter the city at any time."

"Here!"

The armor and weapons captured by Xiang Yu from the Qin army did not improve the Chu army's combat power, but it made it easier for Wang Ben to deceive the Shouchun city gate this time.The Qin army didn't even need to change their armor and weapons, as long as they were under the banner of Xiang Yu, they could directly pretend to be the Chu army.

Seeing Yang Duan and Pei leading the [-] armor-piercing soldiers approaching Shouchun City, Wang Ben looked at Fan Zeng and said with a smile, "I wonder how long Old Master Fan thinks the Shouchun defenders can last?"

At this moment, a knight rushed from behind the formation and shouted from a distance: "Your Majesty has an order!"

Wang Ben's complexion changed slightly. At this time, he received the imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor. Could it be that something happened?
Taking the rolled letter with both hands, Wang Ben concentrated for a while, sighed and said: "Come here, order Yang Duan and the general to lead the army back. Order the whole army to withdraw all the battle flags of the Chu army and replace them." Put up my Daqin Battle Banner. Go tell General Zhang Han and order them to set up their formations, wait for my signal, and attack the city! Say this is His Majesty's edict."

A series of orders quickly popped out from Wang Ben's mouth.Every time he uttered an order, one of the knights would gallop away after bowing.Apparently the order was passed on.

Fan Zeng did not expect that Wang Ben would call directly in front of him. What surprised Fan Zeng the most was that Qin Huanghui came to the imperial edict when he saw that the Qin army was about to use tricks to open the gate of Shouchun City.

Although I didn't read the content of the edict, it is not difficult to see from Wang Ben's series of orders, did Qin Huang let the Qin army forcibly attack the city?So even if Shouchun is captured, how much should the Qin army lose?
Wang Ben saw Fan Zeng's doubts and handed him the edict directly.

With all kinds of doubts, Fan Zeng unfolded the small roll of paper.

Curiosity about Emperor Qin's edict overwhelmed everything else.

"Under the whole world, is it the land of Qin? All the people in the world are the people of Great Qin. Wars and disasters are not what I want. This time to capture Shouchun, I can send an order to the king of Chu, Xiong Xin, Zhaotong, Wu Rui and others, to surrender the city. The death penalty can be spared, and the past will not be investigated. I hope that you will make a good choice for the sake of the people of Chu and the family inheritance. It is limited to two hours! Thieves and accomplices of blood relatives, none of them will be left behind."

After reading it, Fan Zeng was silent for a while, then silently handed the letter in his hand to Long Qi who was beside him, wondering what he was thinking.

The people of the Chu land were rebellious, especially among them were many Baiyue barbarians who were involved in Xiang Liang's anti-Qin army.With the combat power of the Qin army, in order to attack Shouchun by force, the only thing Yingzheng had to look at was time and how many casualties he was willing to pay.

Shouchun is easy to attack, but after Shouchun is captured, how to deal with the problem of Chu?
At the beginning, Yingzheng wiped out the state of Chu in one fell swoop with an absolutely superior force, but in the end left a troubled land of Chu, and spent countless energy of the Great Qin to suppress the rebellion everywhere and wipe out the aristocrats of the Chu state who wanted to restore it.

In this way, although the riots can be suppressed extremely quickly in a short period of time, it leaves even greater hidden dangers.

The Qin law was strict, and every time it was suppressed and killed, not only the rioters were killed, but also more innocent people were killed.

This is also one of the main reasons why countless people in the Chu region waited and followed the Xiang clan as soon as they ascended the throne.

If Shouchun is defeated this time, then Xiong Xin, Zhaotong, Wu Rui and others will inevitably die whether they die on the battlefield or are escorted back to Xianyang.

People are easy to kill, but after killing them, it will only form a deeper hatred.

Yingzheng did not want the vast Chu land, which could become the most prosperous place in Great Qin, to become a place of turmoil in the next few decades or even hundreds of years of Great Qin.

Then the only way is to give everyone a step down, and Huairou seems to be the best way to solve Chudi at present.

What's more, leaving Zhaotong, Wu Rui and others behind will be of great benefit to Daqin in developing Chu and pacifying Chu. Using them to appease the people of Chu is better than Daqin using sharp blades to appease the people of Chu.

Forgive them now, as long as Daqin's strength is there, what waves can they make?
As long as the lives of the people in Chu land improve, how many people are willing to resist Daqin?

Time is the best thing to prove everything.
